Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is a specialized branch of pediatric surgery that focuses on the correction and reconstruction of congenital anomalies, traumatic injuries, burns, and acquired deformities in infants, children, and adolescents. The aim is to restore normal function, appearance, and quality of life while supporting normal growth and development.
